Phase-driven Interaction of Widely Separated Nonlinear Schrödinger Solitons

چکیده
We show that, for the 1d cubic NLS equation, widely separated equal amplitude in-phase solitons attract and opposite-phase solitons repel. Our result gives an exact description of the evolution of the two solitons valid until the solitons have moved a distance comparable to the logarithm of the initial separation. Our method does not use the inverse scattering theory and should be applicable to nonintegrable equations with local nonlinearities that support solitons with exponentially decaying tails. The result is presented as a special case of a general framework which also addresses, for example, the dynamics of single solitons subject to external forces as in [7, 8].

Nonlinear Schrödinger lattices I: Stability of discrete solitons
We consider the discrete solitons bifurcating from the anti-continuum limit of the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) lattice. The discrete soliton in the anti-continuum limit represents an arbitrary finite superposition of in-phase or anti-phase excited nodes, separated by an arbitrary sequence of empty nodes. By using stability analysis, we prove that the discrete solitons are all unstable ...
متن کاملSolitons Interaction and Their Stability Based on Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation
Optical solitons are considered as natural bits for telecommunications as they have the tendency to maintain their shape over transoceanic distances because of interaction between nonlinearity and anomalous group velocity dispersion. However, depending upon the individual pulse width, interpulse spacing and loss in the fiber, co-propagating solitons do interact and share energy. It is therefore...
متن کاملInteractions of vector solitons.
In this paper, we study the interaction of two widely separated vector solitons in the nonintegrable coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations. Using a modification of Karpman-Solov'ev perturbation method, we derive dynamical equations for the evolution of both solitons' internal parameters. We show that these dynamical equations allow fixed points that correspond to stationary two-vector-s...
متن کاملMulti-soliton Solution of the Integrable Coupled Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation of Manakov Type
The integrable coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equation of Manakov type is widely used in recent developments in the field of optical solitons in fibers. The use and applications of the equation is to explain how the solitons waves transmit in optical fiber, what happens when the interaction among optical solitons influences directly the capacity and quality of communication and so on. Some of ex...
متن کاملPeregrine rogue waves in the nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger equation with parity-time symmetric self-induced potential
In this work, based on the recently proposed (Phys. Rev. Lett. 110 (2013) 064105) continuous nonlocal nonlinear Schrödinger system with parity-time symmetric Kerr nonlinearity (PTNLSE), a numerical investigation has been carried out for two first order Peregrine solitons as the initial ansatz. Peregrine soliton, as an exact solution to the PTNLSE, evokes a very potent question: what effects doe...
